Nintendo\u2019s iconic Legend of Zelda weapon could be yours to wield<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n We recently found out that fans will be able to use an actual ocarina while playing Nintendo\u2019s<\/strong> upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/em> remake<\/a>. But while ocarinas are recurring items in the franchise, there\u2019s another item that\u2019s even more strongly associated with protagonist Link\u2019s adventures: the Master Sword<\/strong>.<\/p>\n So it\u2019s good to know there\u2019s a real-world version of that on the way too.<\/p>\n As part of a new partnership with Nintendo, American toymaker Hasbro<\/strong> has unveiled the Legend of Zelda Electronic Master Sword<\/strong>. Described by Hasbro as a \u201croleplay item,\u201d \u201ccollectible,\u201d and \u201ccosplay accessory,\u201d this replica of the iconic weapon not only looks the part, it sounds it too, being loaded with more than 15 musical and sound-effect salutes to the Zelda games<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Flip the switch located in the hilt to power the Master Sword on, for example, and you\u2019ll hear the triumphantly ascending four-note sequence that\u2019s accompanied the discovery of important treasures and key items<\/strong> since the original Legend of Zelda<\/em> 40 years ago. Motion sensors inside the sword can detect when you pick it up or set it down, and then produce the sound effect heard when Link equips unequips gear <\/strong>within the games.<\/p>\n The Master Sword also makes slashing sounds when swung and a clashing noise \u201con gentle impact,\u201d<\/strong> according to Hasbro, so there\u2019s no need to strike with all the strength you would if the fate of Hyrule were actually depending on the power of your blows. Give the sword five swings in a row, and you\u2019ll unlock even more dramatic multi-attack sound effects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Though the Master Sword\u2019s design has some subtle differences between games, Hasbro says this item is based specifically on how it appeared in Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>, the most recently released mainline entry in the series.<\/p>\n At 69 centimeters (27 inches)<\/strong> in length, Hasbro\u2019s Master Sword isn\u2019t trying to be a 1:1-scale replica, unlike the Master Sword produced by Japanese toymaker Tamashi Nations back in 2024<\/a>, nor does it have the vibrating function that Tamashi Nations\u2019 did. However, Hasbro\u2019s Master Sword is a much more budget-friendly option. It\u2019s priced at US$39.99<\/strong>, far less than the 22,000 yen (US$141 at 2024 conversion rates) that Tamashi Nations wanted for its version.<\/p>\n The legendary #MasterSword<\/a> is coming to Hasbro. Inspired by #TheLegendOfZelda<\/a>: Tears of the Kingdom, the 27-inch Electronic Master Sword features 15+ sounds.<\/p>\n Pre-order 9\/9 at 10AM PT \/ 1PM ET on #HasbroPulse<\/a>. pic.twitter.com\/NkXi30yUdk<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Hasbro Pulse (@HasbroPulse) September 8, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n US$39.99 is actually remarkably close to the US$40 that the original NES Legend of Zelda<\/em> game sold for at the time of its release in the U.S., though that\u2019s probably just a coincidence, seeing as how the Master Sword didn\u2019t make its first appearance until the third game in the series, A Link to the Past<\/em>.<\/p>\n Within the Zelda<\/em> games. Link usually has to pass a test of fortitude before he can claim the Master Sword for himself, and there\u2019s a parallel to that with Hasbro\u2019s version, which is being offered as a preorder item and isn\u2019t slated to ship until the beginning of May. That does mean, though, that fans should be able to have them in their hands soon after the scheduled April 30 opening of the live-action Legend of Zelda<\/em> movie<\/a>, and if you\u2019re willing to wait, orders can be placed through the Hasbro Pulse online shop here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Hasbro Pulse<\/a> via Anime News Network\/Ken Iikura-Gross<\/a><\/em> Nintendo\u2019s iconic Legend of Zelda weapon could be yours to wield.
